Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 13 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

With funding from the Semiconductor Research Corporation, a group of 10 universities is banding together to create the Processing with Intelligent Storage and Memory center, or PRISM, led by University of California San Diego. The $50.5 million PRISM center will focus on four different themes: novel memory and storage devices and circuits; next generation architectures; systems and software; an... » read more

Design And Verification Methodologies Breaking Down
By Brian Bailey - 12 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Tools, methodologies and flows that have been in place since the dawn of semiconductor design are breaking down, but this time there isn't a large pool of researchers coming up with potential solutions. The industry is on its own to formulate those ideas, and that will take a lot of cooperation between EDA companies, fabs, and designers, which has not been their strong point in the past. It ... » read more

Brrraaap: Full Throttle On Dirt Bike Electrification
By Laura Carter - 12 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

On a dirt bike almost any terrain is fair game. Once you hit the back roads, course correcting through open fields or wooded areas to get where you’re going (or not) is easy. These powerful-yet-agile gravel-and-dirt surfing, rock-hopping machines have been identified by some as the undisputed off-road champions — perfect for exploration in places larger vehicles simply can’t go. Dirt b... » read more

Multiphysics Analysis of Traction Motors: Accelerating Innovation in Electric Mobility Solutions

Automated Late Stage Timing-Aware Dynamic Voltage Drop ECO
By Manoj Chacko - 09 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

One of the never-ending frustrations for electrical engineers is having to deal with counterproductive real-world effects that they wish would just go away. Examples include switch bounce, metastability, and contact resistance. For IC designers, dynamic voltage drop (DVD), also known as IR drop, is one of those unfortunate facts of the profession. There’s no way to avoid it; every trace and w... » read more

Top Of The News Google announced it will support the RISC-V architecture with the Android open-source operating system. In a keynote at the RISC-V Summit, Lars Bergstrom, Google's director of engineering for the Android Platform Programming Languages, noted that Android currently has more than 3 billion users and the support of more than 24,000 vendors. "We've been following RISC-V for a very ... » read more

Blog Review: Jan. 4
By Jesse Allen - 04 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Siemens EDA's Harry Foster investigates the percentage of total IC/ASIC project time spent in verification and increasing engineering headcount, particularly growing demand for verification engineers. Synopsys' Stelios Diamantidis argues that retargeting older chips using AI offers a way to move chip designs between nodes and absorb the market’s excess capacity. Cadence's Paul McLellan ... » read more

Adapting To Broad Shifts Essential In 2022
By Brian Bailey - 21 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Change creates opportunity, but not every company is able to respond quickly enough to take advantage of those opportunities. Others may respond too quickly, before they properly understand the implications. At the start of a typical year, optimism is in plentiful supply. Any positive trend is seen as continuing, and any negative is seen as turning around. Normally the later in the year that... » read more

Blog Review: Dec. 20
By Jesse Allen - 20 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Synopsys' Twan Korthorst explains how PDKs can help accelerate the photonic IC design process by offering building blocks such as several types of waveguides, passive devices like splitters, combiners, and filters, along with active devices such as phase shifters, detectors, semiconductor optical amplifiers, and lasers. Siemens EDA's Harry Foster examines IC and ASIC design trends, including... » read more
